As a result of the mycological study of the service and living modules of the Belarusian station "Mount Vechernyaya" and the Russian station "Mirny", 9 species of micromycetes were identified, belonging to 7 genera of the Ascomycota phylum. To determine the affiliation of species, anatomo-morphological and molecular genetic methods were used. Most of the found species are micromycetes with conidial sporulation. The dominant species are Aspergillus niger and Orbicula parietina (the first find for Antarctica). The species Geotrichum candidum, Aspergillus niger and Cladosporium cladosporioides can pose a danger to human health under certain conditions (most often with severe immunodeficiency, metabolic and hormonal disorders, traumatic injuries of the skin and mucous membranes), causing geotrichosis, aspergillosis and pheogyphomycosis respectively. The temperature-dependent features of growth were determined: it was found that most of the isolated micromycetes are mesophilic organisms. |
